General Power Tool Safety warnings

WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool..

Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explo-sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep pets, children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmo-dified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat-ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury
- b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-ments, changing accessories, or stor-ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dama-ged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use and handling of the cordless electrical power tool
- Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers are often designed for a particular type of recharge-able battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other types of rechargeable battery units are used.
- Only the rechargeable battery units supplied are to be used with an electrical power tool. The use of other rechargeable battery units may lead to the danger of injury or fire.
- c) When they are not being used, store re-chargeable battery units away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a recharge-able battery unit may result in heat damage or fire.
- d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affected area with water. Seek additional medical help if any of the fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
- CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never charge non-rechargeable batteries!
- Protect the rechargeable battery from heat, for example from continuous exposure to sunlight, fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a quali-fied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for all applications

General safety instructions for grinding, san-dpaper sanding, working with wire brushes, polishing, milling and abrasive cutting:

This power tool is intended for use as a grinder, sandpaper sander, wire brush, polisher, milling machine and abrasive cutting appliance. Please follow all safety instructions, instructions, diagrams and data that you receive with the appliance. If you do not observe the following instruc-tions, this can lead to electrical shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, ensure that you use full face protection, eye protection or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear protectors, protective gloves or special apron to protect you from grindings and material particles. Protected your eyes from flying debris that may be created during certain app-lications. Dust or filter masks must be used to filter any dust created by the app-lication. If you are exposed to loud noise for any length of time, you may suffer hearing loss.
Ensure that other people remain at a safe distance to your workspace. Anyone who enters the workspace must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or broken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury – even outside the immediate working area.
Do not use any accessories that have not been provided or recommended by the manufacturer for this power tool. Just because you can attach the accessories to your power tool, does not ensure they are safe to use.
The permissible speed of the accessory tool used must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified for the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than the permissible rate can break and throw pieces into the air.
The external diameter and thickness of the accessory tool used must comply with the dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned accessory tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled. Grinding discs, sanding drums or other accessories must match the grinding spindle or collet chuck of your power tool exactly. Accessory tools which do not fit precisely into the take-up of the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control. Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or other accessories mounted on a mandrel must be completely inserted in the collet or chuck. Any “protrusion” or exposed parts of the mandrel between the grinding tool and the collet or chuck must be kept to a minimum. If the mandrel is not sufficiently tightened or the grinding tool protrudes too far, the tool could come loose and been thrown out at high speed.
Never use damaged accessory tools. Before each use, check accessory tools such as grinding discs for chips or cracks, sanding drums for cracks, wearing or ex-cessive wear and tear and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool in use is dropped, check to see if it is damaged or use an undamaged accessory tool. When you have checked and inserted the accessory tool, ensure that you and any other people in the vicinity remain outside of the range of the rotating accessory tool and allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged accessory tools usually break during this test period.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the accessory tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live cable can also make metal parts of the appliance live and could result in an electric shock.
k) Always hold the power tool firmly. When running up to full speed, the torque of the motor can cause the power tool to twist.
l) If possible, use clamps to hold the work-piece in position. Never hold a small work-piece in one hand and the power tool in the other while you are using it. By clamp-ing small workpieces, you keep both hands free for better control of the power tool. When cutting round workpieces such as dowels, rods or pipes, be aware that these can roll away and this can cause the tool to jam and be thrown towards you.
Hold the power cord away from any rotating accessories. If you lose control of the appliance, the cord may get cut or caught and your hand or arm could get caught in the rotating accessory tool. Never put the power tool down until the accessory tool has come to a complete standstill. The rotating accessory tool can come into contact with the surface and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
When changing accessory tools or changing settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or other fixing elements tightly. Loose fixing elements can shift unexpectedly and lead to loss of control; unfixed, rotating components will fly off violently.
Do not leave the power tool running whilst carrying it. Accidental contact between your clothing and the rotating accessory tool could lead to physical injury.
Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the housing and a strong accumulation of metal dust can cause electrical hazards
Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
Do not use any accessory tools which require liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid coolants may lead to electric shock.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any altera-tion or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury. This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious injury may result.

Additional safety instructions for all applications

Kickback and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive band, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool will turn rapidly against the direction of rotation of the accessory tool.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or away from him, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the blockage. This can also break grinding discs.
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can absorb the force of a kickback. By taking adequate precau-tions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or jam in the workpiece. The rotating accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can cause a loss of control or kickback.
c) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss of control over the power tool.
d) Always move the accessory tool in the same direction in the material in which the cutting edge leaves the material (in other words, the same direction in which the dust is thrown out). Guiding the power tool in the wrong direction will cause the cutting edge of the accessory tool to jump out of the workpiece which can lead to the accessory tool being pulled in this direction.
Always fix the workpiece when using rotary files, cutting discs, high-speed milling tools or hard-metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the groove can cause these tools to jam and lead to a kickback. When the cutting disc jams, it usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed milling tool or hard-metal milling tool jams, the accessory tool can jump out of the groove and lead to loss of control of the power tool.

Supplementary safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting

Special safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting
Use only the grinding accessories approved for your power tool and only for the recommended applications. Example: Never grind with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove material with the edge of the disc. Any lateral application of force on these grinding tools can lead to breakage.
b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct size and length and without undercut on the shoulder for conical and straight pencil grinders. Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact pressure. Do not make any ex-cessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the stress and likelihood of tilting or jamming and thus the possibility of kickback or breakage of the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in front of or behind the rotating cutting disc. When you move the cutting disc away from your hand, it is possible, in the event of a kickback, that the power tool along with the rotating disc could be thrown out directly towards you.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, switch the tool off and hold it steady until the disc has completely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead to kickback. Identify and remove the cause of the jam.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support panels or large workpieces to reduce the risk of the cutting disc jamming and causing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides, namely in the vicinity of the cut, and also at the edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making “pocket cuts” into existing walls or other obscured areas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects that can cause kickback.

Supplementary safety instructions for working with wire brushes

Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes
a) Be aware that the brush can lose wire bristles even during normal operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive pressure to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow the brush to run at working speed for at least one minute before applying it to the workpiece. Ensure that no one is standing in front of or in line with the brush during this time. Loose pieces of wire could fly off during the run-in period.
Aim the rotating steel brush away from yourself. When working with these brush-es, small particles and minute pieces of wire can fly off at great speed and pierce skin.

Additional safety warnings

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designedto filter out microscopic particles.

Notes on working with materials/tools /speed range

The following are recommendations only and not binding. When carrying out practical work, carry out your own tests to see which tool and which settings are ideal for the material you are working on.
The best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap.
You can quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens as you make a pass or two at different speeds. When working with plastic, for example, start at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed until you observe that the plastic is melting at the point of contact. Then reduce the speed slightly to get the optimum working speed.
Use the cutting wheels for working on the steel and iron at maximum speed or speed “6”.
Determine the rotational speed range for working on zinc, zinc alloys, aluminum, copper, and lead by trying it out on test pieces.
Use a low rotational speed for work on plastics and materials with a low melting point.
Use a high rotational speed for working on wood.
Carry out cleaning, polishing and buffing work in the medium speed range.

Setting a suitable rotational speed:

The number on the variable speed dial 1| Material being worked| The number on the variable speed dial 1| Material being worked
---|---|---|---
1–3| Plastics and materials with a low melting point| 6| Hardwood
4–5| Stone, ceramics| Max| Steel

NOTICE

It may cause heat or shock depending on the speed or the degree of bending, the higher rotating speed with higher degree of bending may burn the cover.

TIP

Do not use the flexible shaft for a long time, stop the tool and let it cool down every 5-10 minutes;
Try to keep it straight while working as possible as you can and don’t bend it too much;
Suggested speed: don’t exceed Speed 3;
d) For best performance and long life, be sure to apply a greasing lubricant to the inner flex shaft parts as needed. Like all tools proper care and attention will extend the longevity of the tool. Overall length: 43 inches

Coppered steel wire brush

Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
If excessive pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.

Operating Instructions

SnapFresh rotary tool BBT-KP526

Thank you for purchasing the SnapFresh rotary tool BBT-KP526.
It has a wide speed range including a high performance motor that allows the tool to maintain its speed under load. The design of the tool also contains plenty of soft grip so the tool can be held comfortably in many positions. The quick collet lock mechanism makes locking the output shaft easier for changing accessories.

Rotary Tool Introduction

The rotary tool has a small, powerful electric motor, is comfortable in the hand, and is made to accept a large variety of accessories including abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving cutters, router bits, cutting wheels and attachments.
The rotary tool operates at speeds up to 28,000 revolutions per minute, it’s almost 10 times faster than the electric drill. The electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the Rotary Tool is just the opposite – a high-speed, low torque tool, so excessive pressure
will make the rotating stop. You don’t apply much pressure to the tool, but simply hold and guide it.
The speed enables it to do jobs low speed tools cannot do, such as cutting hardened steel, engraving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your rotary tool is a matter of learning how to let this speed work for you. To learn about more uses and the versatility of accessories and attachmen-ts refer to this Owner’s Manual.

TIP

If you exert excessive pressure, the fitted tool can break and/or the work-piece could be damaged, also if the rotating stopped by excessive pressure, the protection system may be triggered, resulting in shut down. If it happened, the Battery LED lights will turn off, you need to restart the tool. Then you can continue to use the tool, but exert lighter pressure. You will achieve optimum working results by moving the tool over the workpiece at a steady speed. Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the answer when it is not performing as you think it should. Perhaps you should be using a different accessory, and perhaps an adjustment in speed would solve the problem. Leaning on the tool does not help. When carrying out cutting work, hold the appliance firmly with both hands. Observe the data and the information in the table to prevent the end of the spindle from touching the perforated base of the grinding tool.
d) Do not press the shaft lock button while7 the rotary tool is running.
Using the rotary tool
Always Wear Eye Protection
WARNING Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories can be damaged during handling and can fly Wear eye protection apart as they come up to speed. This is not common, but it does happen.

CAUTION

Whenever you hold the tool, be careful not to cover the air vents with your hand. This blocks the air flow and causes the motor to overheat.
For best control in close work, grip the rotary tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger (Figure A).
The “Golf Grip” method of holding the tool can be used for more aggressive operations such as grinding a flat surface or using cutoff wheels (Figure B and Figure C).
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the rotary tool’s high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that the work is done by the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You should not lean on or push the tool during use.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the work and allow it to touch the point at which you want cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth over the work, Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, the gentle touch is best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to make errors, and will get the most efficient work out of the accessory.
